“This app pulls stories from across our Greater Long Island coverage areas into one screen, and gives everyone the opportunity to receive iPhone push alerts whenever we publish a new post,” said Greater Long Island Media Group’s editorial director, Michael White.

“Now you’re getting relevant, well-written and accurately reported local stories delivered to the palm of your hand on a daily basis,” he added.

With the app, readers have the choice to receive pushes from one, two, or even all six of our community news websites: GreaterPatchogue, GreaterBayShore, GreaterBabylon, GreaterPortJeff, GreaterMoriches, or the new GreaterSayville.
